    QUICK START

    • Start standing tall with your hands off of the barbell.
    • At “go,” complete 1 deadlift.
    • Rest in the time remaining.
    • Load the bar to the second designated weight for your division (see loading charts below).
      • You may have assistance loading your barbell and/or use multiple barbells.
      • Collars must be placed over the outside of all plates.
      • Gymnastics grips or lifting straps are not allowed during this workout.
    • At the start of the next minute, complete 1 deadlift at the second weight.
    • Continue lifting every minute until you reach a load you cannot complete.
      • Athletes may NOT skip a load in the progression.
      • Athletes may reattempt a missed lift within the designated lifting period.
      • Athletes may NOT reattempt a missed lift after the designated lifting period.
    • After a failed lift, or after the athlete completes the ladder, complete as many cleans as possible in the time remaining. Then the workout is over.
      • Example: If an athlete fails the lift and has 40 seconds remaining, they complete as many cleans as possible in the 40 seconds remaining in the current lifting window.
      • Example: If an athlete finishes a lift and decides they do not want to attempt the next lift, they may use the entire 60 seconds of the next lifting window to accumulate clean reps.
      • Example: If an athlete completes the final lift of the ladder and has 30 seconds remaining, they complete as many cleans as possible in the 30 seconds remaining in the current lifting window.
    • The number of cleans completed will act as your tiebreak score.
    • Your score is the total number of deadlifts completed.

    NOTES

    • Athletes may have assistance loading their bar and/or use multiple bars.
      • It is recommended that athletes stage a second barbell with the power-clean load used for the tiebreak.
    • Any deadlift started (barbell is off of the ground) before the end of the designated lifting period that is successfully completed WILL count.
    • Regardless of when the lift is completed, the timer does NOT stop or reset in any way for the duration of the workout.
    • Collars must be placed over the outside of the plates.
    • Gymnastics grips or lifting straps CANNOT be used during the workout.
    • The timer must start at 0, count up for the duration of the workout, and remain in clear view of the camera at all times.

    TIEBREAK

    • When you reach a weight you cannot lift, complete as many cleans in the time remaining within the designated lifting period.
    • In the event of a tie on weight lifted, the athlete who completed more cleans will win the tie.
    • If you complete the final lift in the ladder, immediately complete as many cleans in the time remaining within the designated lifting period to establish a tiebreak score.
      • No clean repetitions may be completed after the 10-minute time cap.

    PENALTIES

    Penalties may be applied to the athlete’s total score if CrossFit HQ conducts a review of your video. CrossFit will review videos that receive significant public downvotes.

    • If an athlete advances before successfully completing the specified weight for the designated lifting window, their score will stop at the last correctly completed deadlift.
    • Editing a video submission in ANY way (to include adding a clock) may result in a 0 score, invalidation, or further sanction.

    See Section 4, “Online Semifinals,” in the 2026 CrossFit Games Rulebook for video review penalty information.
